Wildlife Program Assistant Director

Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife

In hunter education, we talk about the five phases that hunters commonly pass through and how our definition of success in the field evolves over time I think that discussion is valuable, because it provides an important perspective on our approach to the sport In the first stage of the five-step progression, most new hunters are primarily focused on bagging their first game animal My first big

game animal was a small ‘forked-horn’ Sitka black-tailed buck on Kodiak Island, Alaska – and I couldn’t have been more proud In phase two, the goal shifts to filling bag limits The definition of a good day for a hunter in this phase would be taking all four forest grouse allowed, not just two The third stage is what is called the “trophy phase,” where success is derived by harvesting an animal with a large rack or trophy score A hunter in this phase may pass immature animals waiting for the opportunity to harvest a trophy for the wall A fourth phase is the limited-weapon phase, when hunters who have had success with modern firearms put down their rifle to pursue game through traditional implements that present more of a challenge Finally, we arrive at the fifth stage – the sportsman phase Here, hunters find satisfaction in all aspects of hunting, whether sighting-in

their rifle with friends, waiting on a stand for a buck to pass by, or recounting hunting stories with family and friends over a bowl of venison stew An important aspect of the sportsman phase – and I’d advocate for every phase – is sharing the rich tradition of hunting with others I ask that you consider your role in promoting the hunting heritage in Washington Have you introduced hunting to a colleague from work who may have never been before? Have you invited your niece to the shooting range? Do you have time to volunteer with a local hunter-education team? Did you mail a thank-you note to the landowner who afforded you access to their ranch last fall?Hunters don’t have to move through every stage of the sport before entering the sportsman phase All of us share a passion for Washington’s hunting heritage, and it’s important we all do our part to keep this tradition alive during the coming season

David Clumpner, the hunter pictured on the cover of this pamphlet, had a once-in-a-lifetime experience last year In September, after 18 days of scouting, he took a trophy California bighorn ram at 175 yards in the Swakane unit near Wenatchee Thinking back, he’s not sure which was more exciting – taking the 177¼-inch ram or having his special permit application drawn four months earlier “It was a dream come true,” said Clumpner, 34, a lifelong hunter from Anacortes “I applied for that permit every year since high school, but never really expected to be drawn It’s one of the most sought-after permits in the whole country ”Clumpner realized his dream, and we want other hunters to achieve theirs, too Thousands

of special tags will be available again this year in categories ranging from “Bull Elk” to “Fall Turkey,” giving lucky hunters who draw them more opportunities for success in the field Some special permits – like the bighorn ram tag in the Swakane unit – are truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, because no one is allowed to draw them twice But drawing a special permit is hardly a requirement for success in the field After all, 65 percent of all elk and 92 percent of all deer harvested last year were taken during general hunting seasons Our goal as resource managers is to make sure all of the 200,000-plus hunters who take the field each year in our state have the best possible chance of success Achieving that goal is a shared effort The fees you pay for hunting licenses and permits provide most of the money the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) uses to manage our state’s game populations and provide sustainable hunting opportunities

In the current budget, the WDFW Game Division receives about 55 percent of its funding from recreational licensing fees and virtually all of the rest from a federal excise tax on firearms, archery equipment and ammunition Thanks to hunters’ support for their sport, licensing revenues have been on the rise, allowing us to beef up game management activities ranging from surveying game populations to enforcing wildlife regulations

Opening more private lands to hunting has also been a major priority in recent years By using licensing revenues to leverage federal funds, we have succeeded in opening hundreds of thousands of acres – including private forestlands – to hunting for elk, deer, pheasant, small game and waterfowl around the state Hunters can now reserve a parking spot or hunting blind for quality hunts using a new on-line reservation system at http://wdfw wa gov/hunting/hunting_access/private_lands/type/56 We are also stepping up efforts to address landowner conflicts with deer and elk, which can pose an obstacle to increasing the size of herds in some areas One thing we are not doing is using revenues from hunting licenses to manage rare or protected species such as lynx or snowy plovers While some non-game species may benefit from efforts to improve habitat for game animals, the purpose of all management activities funded with hunting license fees is to protect and improve hunting in our state Since statehood, Washington’s game populations have been managed under the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation, which relies on fees paid by hunters to support sustainable hunting opportunities That system is alive and well in our state, and we thank you for your support Good hunting

Sportsmanship evolves through 5 stages of hunting

Hunters create their ownopportunities in the field

Hunting Activity ReportingBeginning on the first day of the hunting season through January 31, 2014, hunters must report their hunting activity for EACH special permit acquired AND each deer, elk, bear, moose, bighorn sheep, mountain goat, and turkey tag purchased in 2013. For each transport tag you will owe one general season hunting activity report AND you will also owe one hunting activity report for EACH special permit awarded. You must complete ALL reports to avoid the $10 penalty. Hunters who do not meet the deadline must pay a $10 penalty before they can buy a license the following year If your special-permit hunting season extends beyond January 31, your hunter report is due within 10 days of the close of that season One hunter report is required for each transport tag and permit acquired and should be completed when you are done hunting the general season for that species The special hunt permit reports should be completed at the end of the special hunt season You will receive a confirmation number for each successfully submitted hunter report Be sure to keep all of your confirmation numbers You are not required to report cougar transport tags unless you harvest a cougar (see hide sealing requirements on page 60)

Incentive Permit Drawing for Early ReportingHunters who report harvest by January 10 will be entered into a drawing for a special incentive permit The nine special permits include two any elk permits for western Washington, two any elk permits for eastern Washington, and five statewide any deer permits If your special permit hunting season extends beyond January 31, you will be included in the incentive drawing if you make a report within 10 days of the close of that season The incentive drawing is usually held in April Winners will be notified by mail

Incentive Permit SeasonIncentive permits are valid for areas open to general hunting seasons or special permit hunting seasons The hunt dates are September 1 through December 31 The permits require a hunter to use archery equipment during archery season, muzzleloader equipment during muzzleloader season, and any legal weapon at other times if there are no firearm restrictions

Paying for Incentive PermitsHunters who win the special incentive permit must send the appropriate license fee to the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Headquarters office in Olympia WDFW will mail the license and transport tag to the permit winners

Major Causes of Hunting Accidents

Careless handling of firearms is the cause of most hunting-related accidents. Careless handling accidents can be prevented if shooters follow three simple rules:

- Treat every firearm as if it were loaded. Keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction at all times.

- Keep the firearm's safety on and the chamber empty until ready to fire.

- Keep fingers away from the trigger until you are ready to fire.

You must report your hunting activity

even if you did not hunt!

Two Ways to Report:1. Call (24/7): 1-877-945-3492

2. Online: wdfw.wa.gov/hunting

Reports are not accepted by mail or email.

Please do not send in your transport tags.

K Buckrun is located in northern Grant County. Buckrun is primarily a mule deer hunt. Hunting is managed for a quality experience by scheduling hunt dates and keeping the number of hunters in the field low. Hunters with limited flexibility for hunt dates may experience scheduling problems. Hunters can generally expect one-day hunts during the permit seasons. All hunters must have written authorization from the Buckrun manager and must check in and out. Schedule hunts in advance by calling 509-345-2577. For public raffle information see page 83-85 or contact the Buckrun manager.

Elk General Information

Elk Tag Areas

Return Radio-CollarsTo better understand the big game species the Department manages in Washington, researchers often put radio-transmitter collars on animals These collars should be marked with the name, address, and phone number of the state, federal, tribal, or university contact person conducting the research All collars are the property of WDFW, university, or other researchers Recovering radio-collars from hunter-harvested animals can provide valuable information to biologists conducting this work The Department asks that you please return any radio-collars from animals that you have harvested Contact the researcher or government agency marked on the radio-collar, or notify your local WDFW Enforcement Officer or biologist that you have harvested a radio-marked animal and they will make arrangements to return the equipment to the appropriate individuals Your cooperation will help us manage for healthy, viable big game populations

General Cougar seasons

Harvest guideline system: • In hunt areas with a harvest guideline, the

Director may close the cougar late hunting season after January 1 in one or more GMUs if cougar harvest meets or exceeds the guideline

• Starting January 1, cougar hunters may hunt cougar from January 1 until the hunt area harvest guideline has been reached and the GMU(s) is closed by the Director or March 31, whichever occurs first

• All cougars killed by licensed hunters during the early and late hunting seasons, and seasons authorized under WAC 232-12-243 shall be counted toward the harvest guideline

• It is each cougar hunter’s responsibility to verify if the cougar late hunting season is open or closed in hunt areas with a harvest guideline Cougar hunters can verify if the season is open or closed by calling the toll free cougar hunting hotline or visiting the Departments website The hotline and website will be updated weekly beginning January 1

License/Tag Required: A valid big game license, which includes cougar as a species option

Turn in a Poacher (TIP) ProgramEvery year poachers steal hunting and fishing opportunities and hundreds of animals and fish from the citizens of Washington Poaching is a serious crime conducted by thieves You can help protect our fish and wildlife resources and critical fish and wildlife habitats by reporting violations The Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Enforcement Program encourages any citizen who witnesses a fish and wildlife offense to report the violation There currently is about one Fish and Wildlife Police Officer for every 45,000 citizens The state encompasses 66,582 square miles and 28,000 combined miles of shoreline That means information from concerned citizens is critically important in controlling fish and wildlife crime The Turn In a Poacher (TIP) program provides the public with the opportunity to anonymously report fish and wildlife violations What To Look For: If you believe you have just witnessed a fish/wildlife violation, gather all the necessary information to report (immediate reporting will significantly increase the ability of an Officer to contact the violator while still in the field):1. Automobile license plate number, make, model, year, general

condition (4X4, camper/canopy, etc )2. Description of person(s) that committed the violation (sex,

general age, race, hair color, general build, name/address if known)

3. Type of violation, where and when it occurred (time, Game Management Unit, Marine Area, GPS coordinates, road junction), and species involved

Never confront a poacher Avoid getting too close to or examining a dead animal because such actions may contaminate the site and make an investigation difficult So don’t disturb the crime scene

Hunting Hours

2013-2014 Official Hunting Hours for Game Animals and Forest Grouse*

Always know your target. The “golden hour” may be an effective time for finding game, but as light diminishes, so does your ability to identify your target In these situations, make sure you know your target and what is beyond *These are lawful hunting hours (one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset) for game animals and forest grouse (ruffed, blue, spruce) during established seasons Exceptions: (a) Bobcat and raccoon are exempt from hunting hour restrictions except as stated on page 70, (b) Hunting hours for falconry seasons (except migratory game bird seasons) are exempt from these hunting hours, except on designated pheasant release sites

The number of settlers was increasing in Washington by the mid-1800s At that time the United States government negotiated treaties with Washington Indian tribes for the peaceful settlement of the territory The treaties established reservations for the exclusive use of the tribes In addition, the treaty tribes kept their right to hunt, fish, and gather on lands off of the reservations All treaties contain similar language reserving the right to hunt, fish, and conduct other traditional activities on lands off of the reservations: “The right of taking fish, at all usual accustomed grounds and stations, if further secured to said Indians in common with the citizens of the territory…together with the privilege of hunting…on open and unclaimed lands ” Treaties are formal contracts between nations

Treaty rights belong to tribes They are not the property of any individual tribal member Only tribal members may exercise treaty hunting rights Members of one tribe cannot exercise the treaty rights of another tribe Treaty tribes in Washington establish hunting regulations through their own government process Federal and state courts have ruled that public land is “open and unclaimed” unless it is being put to a use that is inconsistent with tribal hunting Private property is not considered to be “open and unclaimed,” but it must be obvious that someone owns the property There are 24 tribes that have off-reservation hunting rights within Washington State There are also many tribes in Washington that do not have treaties or rights to hunt off of their reservations Both tribal and state-licensed

hunters hunt game animals across the state It is important that Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and tribes work together to manage wildlife This can be complicated because tribal ceremonial and subsistence hunting and state recreational hunting are based on different cultural heritages and legal frameworks Many tribal governments take an active role in the management of wildlife resources Most tribes with off-reservation hunting rights develop their own regulations and management strategies In recent years, WDFW and various tribes have worked together to develop management plans for wildlife populations and to re-build game populations For more information about tribal hunting, please see the Department website at: wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/tribal

Public Conduct Rules on WDfW Lands

The Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission adopted rules (Washington Administrative Code Chapter 232-13) in December 2007 after years of discussion and extensive public review As the number of users and types of use continue to increase on WDFW lands, the new rules provide a fair and sensible approach to protecting both fish and wildlife habitats and recreational values consistent with healthy wildlife populations These rules, which only apply on WDFW lands, are now in effect The complete public conduct rule package is available on the web at: apps leg wa gov/wac/default aspx?cite=232-13 Although some conduct rules remain in place and have not changed, the new WAC chapter compiles them in one location for easy reference The rules address behavior and conduct, parking, camping, campfires, dumping and littering, target shooting, fireworks, pets, building blinds and tree stands, access, commercial and noncommercial use, and enforcement

Fire rules allow campfires up to a maximum of three feet in diameter and three feet high unless posted otherwise The new rules also include a 21-day camping limit within a 30-day period unless posted otherwise Vehicles should not be left unattended for more than 21 days Unattended blinds are available to the public on a “first-come first-serve” basis These rules were designed to provide an equal opportunity for all users The firearms and target practicing rule prohibits the use of glass, signs, appliances, mattresses, televisions, furniture, and exploding items as targets With the exception of clay pigeons, debris from target practice should be removed These rules, along with no-littering laws, address a growing concern for the amount of garbage left on public lands The rules also prohibit the discharge of firearms within 500 feet of one of the 21 department-designated campgrounds These very limited shooting restrictions were included to protect the recreating public

Rules governing pets allow hunters to use hunting dogs under their control, but not to let them or other pets roam unattended From April through July, all dogs and other pets must be leashed on WDFW lands to protect nesting wildlife To manage multiple user groups, a permit from the department is now required for any private or public event involving more than thirty people A commercial use permit from the department is required for any activity on department lands where a fee is charged or where the purpose is the sale or barter of a good or service regardless of whether the activity is intended to produce a profit All those who use WDFW lands are encouraged to take a look at the new rules With the new public conduct rules in place and followed; WDFW public lands will continue to provide safe, beautiful wildlands for all users to enjoy now and in the future

WDFW, with the help of state, federal, and private landowners, coordinates the closure of certain roads to reduce hunter crowding and disturbance to wildlife Roads have been closed to vehicular traffic in over 65 areas, providing over a million acres of relatively undisturbed prime hunting habitat It is illegal to operate a motor-driven vehicle on closed roads unless exempted by WDFW or the cooperative agency or company Road management areas are generally not closed to all entry, just motorized vehicles You can walk, bicycle, or horseback ride in the area as much as you like!There two types of road closures in the program:1. “Posted Closed” System. Roads that are

closed in an area are posted “closed to vehicular traffic, including ATVs

Under this system, all roads in an area are closed unless posted OPEN with a green dot You may drive on any roads that have circular green reflectors posted along the roadway Roads without green reflectors are closed to motor vehicles To help users, large information boards can be found at major points of entry into the area Areas under the Green Dot System are designated with (*) below

Only portions of the identified GMUs below contain road management areas Due to changes in land ownership and multi-partner agreements, the final status of Cooperative Road Management areas may change Check with cooperating land owners and Regional WDFW offices for any changes

Cooperative Road management AreasWhy Close Roads?Studies in the Pacific Northwest have shown that most big game animals avoid active roads by at least one-quarter mile, and some move as much as four miles to escape traffic Closing roads can provide large undisturbed areas for wildlife, like elk, deer, bighorn sheep, eagles, and wild turkeys during critical times of the year Intensively managed forests may have three to nine miles of road for each square mile of habitat For each mile of road, at least four acres are directly removed as productive habitat Animals need energy to survive Energy spent moving away from disturbances can deplete the energy needed to survive to late spring or give birth to a healthy elk calf By limiting disturbance, road closures can enhance the health, reproduction, and number of animals in an area

Chronic Wasting Disease

If you are going to hunt deer, elk, or moose in the following states or provinces this year please be advised that there have been some rule changes passed by the Washington Fish and Wildlife commission that regulate how you can bring your meat and trophies home

Alberta, CanadaColoradoIllinoisKansasMaryland

MinnesotaMissouriNebraskaNew MexicoNew York

North DakotaPennsylvaniaSaskatchewan, CanadaSouth DakotaTexas

UtahVirginiaWest VirginiaWisconsinWyoming

If you hunt deer, elk, or moose in these states or provinces the following items only may be imported to Washington to reduce the risk of transmitting chronic wasting disease:• Meat that has been de-boned in the state or province where it was

harvested and is imported as boned-out meat • Skulls and antlers, antlers attached to the skull plate, or upper canine

teeth (bugler, whistlers, ivories) from which all soft tissue has been removed

• Hides or capes without heads attached • Tissue imported for use by a diagnostic or research laboratory • Finished taxidermy mounts

Violation of this rule is a gross misdemeanor having a maximum penalty of a $5,000 fine or one year in jail (RCW 77 15 290)In addition, if you are notified by another state fish and wildlife agency that the deer, elk, or moose you have harvested has tested positive for chronic wasting disease, you must notify the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife within 24 hours Violation of this rule is an infraction (RCW 77 15 160)The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has been testing for chronic wasting disease (CWD) since 1995 To date, CWD has not been detected in Washington We urge hunters to help us maintain our healthy deer, elk, and moose populations For more information on CWD, check out wdfw wa gov/conservation/health/cwd

Hoof Disease in ElkReports of lameness and deformed hooves in free-ranging Roosevelt elk have been observed in southwest Washington since the mid-1990s This problem appears to be concentrated in the lowlands in the lower Cowlitz River Valley, but reports have been increasing in number and geographic scope, and hunters are regularly seeing and sometimes harvesting elk with this condition One of the challenges in understanding hoof disease in animal populations is that there are over 40 types of hoof diseases of domestic livestock that are known The type observed in southwest Washington elk does not appear to match with any known hoof diseases in domestic or wild animals and does not seem to be affecting domestic livestock in the area Because of the complexity of this situation, additional investigation is needed to help us better understand and manage this problem WDFW biological and veterinary staff have been working with veterinary experts throughout the country and abroad to develop sampling and testing plans for identifying the cause of hoof disease in southwest Washington elk

Regarding the public’s concerns about the safety of meat from elk with hoof disease, as with all wild animals, WDFW cannot guarantee the safety of game meat As a general guideline, if the animal appeared and behaved normally before it was harvested; the meat appears and smells normal; good hygiene and common sense practices were used during butchering, storage, and preparation; and the meat is thoroughly cooked; then most likely the meat is safe to eat WDFW advises against harvesting any animal that appears sick And while no specific investigation regarding meat from elk with hoof disease in southwest Washington has occurred, we have not had any reports of the public becoming ill from eating the meat of elk in southwest Washington WDFW will keep hunters informed as more information is obtained Check the Elk Hoof Disease section of the Wildlife Health page at http://wdfw wa gov/conservation/health/ Hunters can report sightings of elk with exhibiting sysmptoms of hoof disease to the WDFW website at wdfw wa gov/conservation/health/hoof_rot/reporting

WDFW Private Lands ProgramThe Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Private Lands Program was developed to restore important habitats and the wildlife that utilize those habitats, as well as increase pubic hunting access to private property Benefits from the Private Lands Program help perpetuate Washington’s wildlife, restore and enhance habitat, and increase recreational opportunities and public support for wildlife Currently, there are approximately 600 private landowners and 1 2 million acres enrolled in public access and habitat development agreements through the program

Private LandsAccess to Private Forestlands is a PrivilegeMuch of the big game hunting in Washington occurs on private forestlands WDFW works with many of these landowners to maintain access Some of these landowners provide access without direct assistance from WDFW Hunters can help maintain access by respecting the landowner and following their rules Most forest landowners post access rules at entry points Where hunters are not sure of the rules, the following are good guidelines

- Obey all posted signs- Leave gates as you found them - Pack out your trash - Be courteous- No camping- No ORV’s- No fires- Drive only on maintained roads if open to motorized access - An opened gate does not mean the road is open to motorized access, again read the signs - If possible, avoid active haul routes and logging operations - Private forest lands are usually closed to public access during hours of darkness - No target shooting or plinking- No wood cutting

Hunters are encouraged to contact WDFW regional offices about access to private lands prior to contacting the landowner Some have hotlines or web addresses that can be provided Landowners may not have staff on hand to answer all the phone calls they receive regarding hunting access Information on private lands access opportunities is also included on the hunting access pages of WDFW’s website at: http://wdfw wa gov/hunting/hunting_access/ and GoHunt online mapping system at: wdfw wa gov/mapping/gohunt

Remember, Respect Equals Access!

The Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR) manages three million acres of state trust land These lands are managed primarily to generate income to build public schools, universities, and provide other public benefits They also are managed to provide habitat for fish and wildlife, and offer the public opportunities for recreation, such as camping, hunting and fishing Each year, millions of people recreate on public lands; most of them treat the land and its resources with respect, but a few do not Increasingly, private landowners are closing their lands to protect them from vandalism and theft DNR wants to continue to keep trust lands open for hunting and fishing, but we need your help

As a land manager, DNR has the responsibility to manage its land to support wildlife and maintain water quality Wildlife need snags, trees and brush; fish need streams with clean water and gravel Healthy habitats help provide healthy fish and wildlife populations You can help When you’re hunting or fishing, please remember the following:•Keepvehiclesonroadsandoutofstreamsandwetlands
